Bent/Warped Graphics Card?

[Gusmaz]

Hello, everyone! I bought a graphics card a few months ago and today i chose to open my PC to clean it and then i saw that my graphics card was bent. It's not sagging from the weight, the PCB itself is bent. I think it's a bit hard to see it but if you focus on the PCB you can kinda see what looks like a curve on it. It's not big (somewhere around 4mm or something) but if i look at it from one end i can definitely see the warp. It goes down to the middle of the card straight but after that part it gets bent. I think i can still RMA it but it would be a pain to do so. The thing is, the card works just fine. I've never had a problem with it and the temperatures are fine too. Never had crashes or anything. The only thing that worries me is that bent on the PCB. Is it normal for cards to be like this? I saw some other cards that seemed to have some parts of the PCB warped too. Should i keep the card?

Thanks in advance!

Do you a picture of how bent it is? If it continues to warp, you may need to get something to hold the GPU up against its weight.

I'm really sorry, but i can't take a picture of it now. It's not very bent. about 4mm at most from one end to the other. As for something to hold the GPU, i have my computer laid on its side so the gpu isn't forced down too much so it shouldn't get worse, i don't think.
